my door/paint experiment...
the bugrandy in my GSL-SE is just scaring me, so im painting the interior....
ripped off the door panels today, fixed up the power windows not working right, then decided i may aswell get started on painting over some parts.
i used SEM flexible vinyl paint. pic is kinda bad, but i'll get better ones when they are back on the car...
pretty easy, maybe 5 minutes undoing the screws in the door, and another few hours prepping and painting.
and no they are not done. this paint works on carpet too, however i plan to replace that with stereo carpet.

agreed prep is essential in getting nicely painted interior...I know it took a couple of hours to prep the interior in my car...oh when you get the carpet replaced with stereo carpet post some pics of the process

i did the interior of my supra 3 years ago and its still holding up strong. view the pic below
that pic i showed yesterday really sucks. i will get some more once i have more done. the color is actually black, but that was with only a few coats, just getting things in motion! i'd like to paint all the vinyl in the Rx7 black and try to find some grey/black seats in good shape, and i'll be rockin'
my first Rx7 had the black/grey interior and i must say it was one of my all time fav interiors of any car i've owned.

I restored a 300 ZX last year. Changed the interior color from the tan/gold to a med. gray. 2 coats of the SEM paint, with a touch up gun, was all it took. This was the paint and not the dye.
The gray 1st gen interior is my favorite also. I even prefer the brown over the red. Guess I'm getting too old for the whorehouse red.
